I have a long commute (60 miles 1 way) and in the summer it's over 100 a lot of the time. I don't have A/C...something wrong with the compressor...so I drive with the windows down. It's ridiculously hot and I need to go buy some beaded seat covers I suppose. I'm suffering for now though.
Wondering:
1) If I drive with my rear seat folded flat and open up some sort of duct to the outside through my trunk, this could help alleviate the reduced drag from the open windows as well as improve the wake...right?
2) What affect does having the sunroof open along with both windows have on MPG? (car specific I'm sure...I need a scanguage...)
